Hiya, quick question! Do you have a system for backing up or game save files? I recently discovered GameVault, but the client seems to be a bit unfinished, from first glance, do correct me if I’m wrong. Are there any other similar clients like this? And or simple solutions for easy finding save files and backing them up?...

Not sure what happened but I’ve been running Steam games using MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command% and it’s been working fine with Mangohud. Suddenly, no Mangohud. Mangohud still works with Lutris....

I was always on Linux since Varsity but two years ago when I bought a gaming Laptop, it had Windows 11 on and worked great. I thought I would give it a chance and it was great especially for gaming. Luckily a lot of the open source software I was used to were available on windows. I also liked some of the Linux tools like the...

I am using the Steam Flatpak on OpenSuse Tumbleweed and when using the Steam interface, specifically when I get a chat message or try to respond to one, the Steam UI will hard freeze, as in a I can’t type or move windows or interact with anything and then 30 seconds or so later everything goes back to normal. Plasma is still...

I’m new to having Linux on my main rig. It’s been about a month now. I’m hoping someone has a better way to handle focus while gaming....

I have been using Linux to game now mostly for around 1-2 months and halo infinite runs but runs like crap compared to win 11. When I run the game on windows I get 144 fps almost constantly on Linux I get 70-80. I am new to this and not sure what to tweak or change to get it to run better if anything. I play via steam using...

I have a problem with Borderlands 2 and Portal. If I run native version game crashes soon after launching. If I run Windows version with Proton game doeasn’t launch at all. I tried solutions from ProtonDB but none of them worked. I’m new to Linux gaming so I’m not sure what to do....

I added a custom session to my display manager which starts Gamescope with the Steam Deck UI. This works great mostly, but exiting it is a challenge....

As the title asks, how does one actually use HDR for games after upgrading to Plasma 6?...

I just got myself an Arctis Nova 7X and have been trying to get chat mix to work using HeadsetControl and Nova7ChatmixLinux. The latter uses the former to poll the Nova 7X for the current chat mix balance. The creator set the polling rate at 1/sec which is a little long, but I fear it may be for hardware safety reasons. I got...

I’m considering prioritizing buying GOG games when available, because they’re DRM-free, especially now that there’s a partner link through Heroic to show where my purchase is coming from. But a thought just occurred that those Windows-encoded videos were a problem on Steam until Valve started re-encoding those videos in...

I have a Framework 13 AMD - love it overall. I’m currently running opensuse with Plasma but would honestly be happy to switch DEs if this was possible elsewhere....

Like the title says I am trying to understand how these things should work together. Part of my issue is I don’t have a good mental model on the Flatpak permissioning / sandbox model. My use case is running a game on Lutris, which is a Flatpack, and using my package install of Mangohud. I am also curious if I should using a...
